There’s no getting out, what happens in America affects the rest of the world too.
Nazis have the federal government in a chokehold but there’s a lot of resistance at local and municipal levels. I’m just mid level management but after Trump’s announcement on “two genders” I immediately let my trans and nonbinary employees know that they would continue to be seen and respected and validated at work regardless of what the white house says.
The worst I fear is still the issue of global warming, it’s already bad and the white house is locking in on releasing all the CO2 it can - and the entire globe will suffer for it.
Diaspora is the fediverse version of Facebook. It hasn’t taken off quite like lemmy or mastodon and it’s much older, but still seems to be in active development.
Convincing family is hard, I have a lot of them moved over to Linux already, but they don’t want to quit Facebook :(
I would argue that the supermajority weren’t fine with this result, these real life consequences, but were under a collective cope/delusion that “Killer Kamala” was a “weak woman” but also a warhawk who just wanted to genocide lots of people in Gaza and prolong the war in Ukraine, and Trump was going to bring peace and prosperity and lower the cost of living.
Americans are mostly stupid, poorly educated, gullible, and easily deceived by low effort promises.
Fuzzy memories after 4 years of anti-Democrat propoganda, remember overwhelmingly Americans use social media that backs Trump (X, Meta, TikTok), to the point that even US “leftists” were all in anti-“blue MAGA”.
It’s classic manufactured consent. That’s why FAFO was trending after election. Americans don’t know what they voted for. They are about to find out - the hard way.
